San Antonio turns out for Kanye

1 / 55

Back to Gallery

San Antonio — It wasn't the biggest rap show of the year, so the headliner's famous ego might have been a little bruised.

He didn't show it. Of course, he was wearing a jeweled mask — a handful of them most of the time.

Superstar rapper Kanye West made a spectacular, theatrical San Antonio debut at the AT&T Center on Sunday for almost 8,000 fans (earlier in the day, he visited Mi Tierra Restaurant & Bakery).

The outspoken rapper is promoting his Grammy-nominated “Yeezus,” up for best rap album.

His opening act, Kendrick Lamar, by comparison learned Friday that “Good Kid, M.A.A.D City” is up for Grammy album of the year. He's also in contention for best new artist.

Entertainment Channel

Lamar is up for a Grammy in an R&B category, as well as for best rap performance for the hit “Swimming Pools (Drank),” best rap/sung collaboration for “Now or Never” (with Mary J. Blige), best rap album and a co-writing nomination for “F***in' Problems.”

But forget the Grammy tally or that Drake drew thousands more last month; it was West's famous fiancé Kim Kardashian and their baby, North West, which was on many fans' lips before West hit the stage to rap/sing “On Sight” and “New Slaves,” and later “I Am a God.”
